Clinical Trials
Clinical trials require qualified, motivated subjects to send to the study sites. Identifying, qualifying, enrolling, and retaining study subjects can be challenging. A number of factors – both internal and external – can affect the overall success of the study. In fact, more than 80% of clinical trials run behind schedule, increasing the already high cost of bringing new therapies to market. Slow patient enrollment is a leading cause of these delays and can cost a sponsor a million dollars a day in lost revenue.
Community-based patient recruitment utilizing health promotion services has been proven to:
- Be highly effective in influencing individual interest in trial participation
- Improve the targeting of participants to lower delay rate and “cost of failure” in study
- Improve sponsor relationships with study sites through quality referrals and reduction in administrative time
Starting with pre-trial planning and research, we team with agencies, investigators, and screening partners to devise a recruitment plan to meet the objectives of the study protocol. We strive to identify, enroll, and retain highly-qualified participants.
Building on our experience, we research local and event demographics to conduct screening and pre-qualification events to ensure the right subjects are being targeted. This includes a proprietary database of venues interested in hosting events. We provide promotional services to deliver recruitment messages clearly and effectively to the largest possible sample population. Online event registration, site logistics coordination, and HIPAA-compliant in- and outbound call services are also available.
